Avoid paying big salaries to hire charity leaders
-
Feb 11, 2011 - ST Forum
THE primary purpose of a non-profit or charitable organisation is to raise funds and to allocate them to the needy ('Charities offer big pay to draw talent'; Tuesday).
Why then is a huge sum of money - in the case of City Harvest, a quarter of its expenses - spent on attracting talent?
While I understand such organisations need competent leaders, their salaries should not be pegged to or compared with salaries drawn by others outside the charity sector.
People should want to join non-profit organisations mainly because they want to make a difference. Competitively commensurate pay should be secondary.
If the talent being pursued is motivated primarily by financial benefits, he or she should not be offered the job.

When was City Harvest ever a non-profit, or charitable organisation? If they were, they won't even need the 49% shares in suntec holdings and draw revenue from shop rentals and such already.
Obviously the author of the letter above is a blistering idiot.

Hanor.
Once the go ahead was given by the people at the top to raise their salaries to astronomical heights, all moral considerations were thrown out of the window.
I am not surprised non profit organisations all start to think it is ok to pay their staff absurd salaries.
Truly, money rules the world now.
